A: HPMC (Hypromellose) is widely used as a binder, thickener, and controlled-release matrix in pharmaceuticals. It enhances drug stability and improves bioavailability. Its non-toxic nature makes it ideal for oral and topical formulations.
A: HPMC K100M, a high-viscosity grade, is primarily used to create sustained-release tablets. It forms a gel layer that controls drug dissolution over time. This ensures prolonged therapeutic effects and reduces dosing frequency.
A: HPMC offers excellent compressibility, water solubility, and compatibility with active ingredients. It ensures uniform drug distribution and minimizes tablet disintegration issues. These properties make it a cost-effective and reliable choice.
A: Yes, HPMC is commonly used in film coatings to mask tastes, protect drugs from moisture, and control release rates. It provides a smooth, durable finish and is compatible with other coating additives.
A: In immediate-release tablets, HPMC acts as a binder to ensure tablet integrity. For extended-release formulations, it forms a gel barrier to slow drug release. The viscosity grade (e.g., K100M) determines the release profile.
